Pregnany of unknown location

Hi, I’m 29 years old and currently 6 weeks pregnant. Over the past couple of days, I’ve experienced some spotting, so I decided to book a private ultrasound for reassurance. Today, during the scan, the sonographer told my husband and me that it’s a pregnancy of unknown location. They explained that it could mean the pregnancy is too early to be seen, ectopic, a failed pregnancy, or a miscarriage. Hearing this broke me, and I couldn’t hold back my tears. Right now, I’m feeling a whirlwind of emotions—scared, anxious, but still clinging to a bit of hope. I just wanted to share this here, whether to vent or hear from anyone who might have gone through something similar.

I had an early scan yesterday I was told they could see the embryo and sac but no heartbeat. I was the same. They said it’s likely it’s too early. It could be the same for yourself it’s just too early xx

I had pregnancy of unknown location was to early I’m now 11 weeks 4 days hopefully is the same for you try not to worry 🩷

Hi lovely. I had an early private ultrasound at 7+3 weeks. The sonographer scanned for ages and was silent and the chaperone just kept holding my hand a little tighter. At the end, he asked her to take me to the “rainbow room” for him to discuss the results. I was a wreck, especially as I went alone (hadn’t told anyone yet) being the first pregnancy since a previous loss at 13 weeks. He explained there was no heartbeat, no yolk sac or fetal pole & report said unknown location for me too. I was told that the pregnancy was either too early on (which didn’t make sense with my LMP) an MMC or chemical but said I could be rescanned in 2 weeks if still testing positive. I had no other loss symptoms, aside from light spotting here and there so I went for the rescan and immediately saw this tiny little marble on the screen. The baby had a strong heartbeat and I was then measuring just over 7 weeks! Apparently I had ovulated very late and was too early on. This bubs is now 17.5 months old💕🫶🏻

@Courtney aww what a lovely happy ending 🥰

@Lexy 🌱 it certainly was! I was very anxious due to the previous loss but had no significant bleeding so was hopeful and literally all 3 of us (myself, the sonographer and my chaperone) all cried at my rescan 😂. I hadn’t been tracking my periods as never had one on the implant and was touch and go on the pill too but I had recently had one so when I calculated it using the NHS calculator, it said 7+ weeks. But I ovulated almost a fortnight late 🫣😂 But just wanted to give a little hope as sometimes it is just because you’re earlier than you expect to be xx

Hey ladies, just a little update. I had another scan at the hospital today, and they only saw the sac on the ultrasound. They took some blood this morning and asked me to come back in 48 hours for another blood test to check the trend. The sonographer mentioned that it’s unlikely to be an ectopic pregnancy. I’m holding onto the hope that I’m just earlier than 6 weeks. I’m feeling a bit anxious since now it’s a waiting game for the next 48 hours, but I’m trying to stay positive. I’ve taken some time off work because I just wouldn’t be able to focus while waiting for the results. I’ve also submitted a form to my GP to get a sick note. All your positive comments are really uplifting.
